our story
Known throughout Thailand for its delicious and authentic Papaya Salad, or ”Somtum”, Somtum Der Bangkok set foot in New York in 2013 with the idea that the American palate was ready for a more authentic and varied form of Thai food – one that reflected the specialized and often spicy tastes of the country’s Northeast “Isan” region. This idea was well-received and in 2016 Somtum Der was awarded a prestigious Michelin Star and has continued to be one of the Michelin guide’s Best Values every year since.
